Sifting through CVs, identifying potential gems, coordinating with hiring managers, and steering candidates to that thrilling offer moment to join an incredible team. I was thrilled every time I was able to find that ideal fit. The other win was watching those individuals thrive and stay, year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
